Aloft Dublin City

Top choice in Dublin


'This must be the place' is emblazoned in bright neon across the wall of the 7th-floor breakfast room, and you'd be hard pushed to disagree. Modern rooms adorned with cool local artwork; huge, floor-to-ceiling windows; and – back up on the 7th floor, where you'll also find the reception – a swish rooftop bar with fab views over the city.
